The Sacrament of Confirmation completes the Christian Initiation started at Baptism. At Confirmation, Christians receive the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Right Judgement, Courage, Knowledge, Piety and Fear of the Lord. In receiving these Gifts, we are called to use them for the greater glory of God.

Confirmation is available for any young person in grade 8-12.  Confirmation for our students is celebrated once per year at the Cathedral of St. Paul or the Basilica of Saint Mary. All Confirmation candidates must be Baptized, and have received the sacraments of First Reconciliation and Eucharist. Students preparing for Confirmation must:
